Famous vegan activist Tash Peterson has terrified diners at Northbridge Outback Jacks in a white apron and faux-blood-splattered pants.
A confrontational video posted online by Mrs Peterson on Saturday night shows her entering the restaurant, making distressing sounds of farm animals, which she says come from Australian slaughterhouses, from a portable speaker.
In her latest stunt, the hard-line activist proceeded to walk around the customers eating their meals and shouted, “You have blood on your hands if you’re not vegan.”

The scene quickly became aggressive when staff tried to intervene and kick Peterson out of the restaurant.
While the staff struggled to get Ms. Peterson walked away and threatened to call the police, a diner got up and grabbed the vegan activist and put his arm around his neck, shouting for him to leave.
An Outback Jacks employee asked the dining room to let go of Mrs. Peterson and she finally did, telling her to “f … off.”
However, this was not enough to deter the activist from the hard line of his tirade.
Another patron stood up and said to Mrs. Peterson, “We have the right to eat in peace,” as she took her arms.
After almost three minutes, the staff pushed Mrs. Peterson through the door, but continued her protest in the street.
Ms. Peterson is no stranger to controversial activism to promote veganism.
He was fined thousands of dollars in April for two shirtless protests, one of which took place at a Louis Vuitton store in Perth last August.
During her protest at the luxury store, Mrs. Peterson wore only a flesh-colored thong and covered her torso with what she said was her own blood.
The other protest took place outside Cottesloe’s Boatshed Market in December 2020.
Mrs. Peterson was fined $ 3,500 after being found guilty of two counts of misconduct in both incidents.
